Trade Results: Week 26th to 29th Dec 2011 (Evaluation)
I’m not trading my usual accounts in the week between Christmas and New Year, because of the very thin market liquidity during this week.
I will however keep running my Alpari Mini account with reduced lot size, just as a test. RSM is disabled on this account.
I’m resuming normal trading on all my accounts next week.
Monday 26th Dec
- No Trades on Alpari Mini
- Spread was sometimes > 30 pips on EUR/USD
- RSM disabled trades
Tuesday 27th Dec
TRADE DETAILS: Open Close Profit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alpari UK (Mini-1) S2 Sell: 23:25:41 1.30743 -> 0:01:39 1.30651 9.2 pips
Wednesday 28th Dec
- No Trades on Alpari Mini
Thursday 29th Dec
- No Trades on Alpari Mini
Every day this week, the Megadroid RSM feature has disabled trading.
The account I’m testing has RSM disabled. So far I’ve had only one trade.
Well, it turned out to be an uneventful week.
If you had RSM disabled, you’d probably have made 9-10 pips. If you had RSM enabled, you wouldn’t have got any trades.
The spreads were a bit crazy on Monday, often around 30 pips, but otherwise they were close to normal.
I’ll resume normal trading on all of my Megadroid accounts next week.
Thanks for all your helpful advice over the past year and all the best to you and your readers for 2012!
Richard and Everyone,
Happy New Year!
Richard thanks for your great work!
You’re welcome guys.
Hope everyone has a fantastic new year.
Thank you to everyone for posting their results. Hopefully all this information has helped people “fine tune” their broker selection, and at the same time understand how this strategy really performs in good and bad times.
In my view, it’s really important to have a 6-12 month outlook with this strategy, and not to trade too aggressively because of the inevitable losing months.
It’s been a “interesting” year for Megadroid,
This is how I see it:
January – February
– Very quiet
March to May
– Decent profit months
June to August
– Difficult losing months, with economic instability in the US (debt situation) and EU (Greece)
September to November
– Very good profit months, with high trade counts.
December
– Very quiet, a bit like the start of the year
